52" TV for $10

Price is back up to $1,699 and it says "Sold Out".

 

Dun Dun Dunnnnn...

Well that means that they are on the case...

 

I hear that e-mails are already being sent out explaining the situation. I still bet that at least one person raises hell and gets a fantastic price on this. Maybe not $10, though.

 

I have not received an email from them yet. However, the status of my order has changed to "Delivery Date not available; contact Customer Care at 1-888-BEST BUY."

Does anyone know if there is a law, for any state, that says something along the lines of "If the seller accepts payment for an item they must sell the aforementioned item for the advertised price"?

 

It doesn't matter, since when purchasing the item, we agreed to their Terms and Agreements. This overrides any default state laws if there are any.

 

Seriously? Shouldn't laws overrule their contracts? What if they put (extreme example) they could kill you if you don't pay your bill?

 

I got my email too It'd be great if someone did find a legal technicality that resulted in all of us getting 'em

 

Because I think that's federal law... I'm completely guessing here so yeah..

 

these errors occur all the time, get posted on a deal site, and 10,000 people try to get the super-cheap item.at best, all you could have hoped for was some sort of $10 gift card for your inconvenience or something...

but there is no way you're going to get around this one. the ONLY way you could maybe get away with something like this was if you were the only one who found it. after thousands have been ordered at $10, you can just forget about getting anything.

 

Yeah exactly,

Because they know full well if even one person got it you just opened the gates to everybody else to have a reason to get it.

 

Being cynical , would this not be a great way of getting people to visit your website, I know it`s going to be a lot of work refunding peoples money, but it`s free advertising.

How many have now visited Bestbuy , that would not have.

 

As I stated before, unless this was a bait and switch you really don't have much recourse; since they are giving everyone their money back and not forcing them to purchase the television it's clearly not.

 

here's a thread i found on my local forum.

 

Same Letter as Mike

 

Check this thread out guys. Best Buy is not going to honor the price. They will be issuing refunds.

 

My brother ordered this..and got the e-mail....

And, this whole BB fail, has made my 11:00 PM local news (that's a big deal where I live)


Cin....

 

Damn and I was hoping for some "epic lulz" to come out of this towards best buy!

 

Some of you act like you've never seen this happen before.

If you read about a deal too good to be true, you're already too late.
